MTL - All Over the World To Save My Wife-Chapter 139 Swordsman and Exorcist (25)
==================================
The heavy rain continued, a light suddenly lit up the sky, followed by a dull rumbling sound.
Gu Zhong put his hand on the latch of the wooden door and slowly moved it away. The strong wind outside couldn't wait to push the door open a crack.
, gurgling down flowing.
"Long time no see, Elder Gu."
He pulled the hat up with the other hand, and the light of the oil lamp managed to reflect half of his face.
Red and purple centipedes twisted and twisted all over his face, and the pitted skin seemed to have been burned by fire. This was a ghost face that was enough to scare children into crying.
"Chu City? Come in..."
Gu Zhong recognized the person, relieved his mind, and made a way to surpass him.
—half-faced Asura, half-faced crown jade.
Ling Yan sighed silently in her heart. After the battle that day, although Chu Cheng was rescued, he finally turned into this inhuman appearance due to the trauma he suffered. .
"It's raining really hard today - eating?"
Chu Cheng picked up the teapot on the table and poured himself a cup of hot tea, squinting his eyes comfortably.
"So what are you doing here on a rainy day?"
Gu Zhong re-inserts the door bolt and sits back at the table.
"Can't I just miss you? Came here to visit?"
Ling Yan gave him a roll of eyes.
"What kind of national teacher - my ability is declining, and I'm not as good as ordinary people-"
Chu Cheng laughed bitterly and laughed at himself.
Ling Yan and Gu Zhong fell silent after hearing his words.
The patriarch is dead, and the blood pact that accompanied it naturally no longer exists, and the power obtained from the blood pact should naturally not exist.
The demons are gone, the great demons who continue the blood of the ancestors have also turned into ashes, and the demon slayers should also dissipate. In this world, only the demon slayers and the originals of the past will remain. of demons—not too many.
The rules that were once trampled were re-established, and a delicate balance was reached again.
But they believe that in the near future, the demon will be completely abandoned by the world, become the ashes of history, and no longer exist in this world.
"So, what happened?"
After a while, Gu Zhong continued to ask.
Chu Cheng said this, the purpose of coming here must not be simple.
"I don't know if you have heard the news - the king wants to establish a new queen."
The expression became serious and solemn, Chu Cheng said slowly.
"I just found out, is there any problem with this?"
Recalling the letter to her from Bai Ri Lingyan, Gu Zhong now clearly remembers the news.
"The National Teacher's House has taken on some housekeeping duties, tailoring clothes for the new queen, and making witch clothes above the ceremony. However—"
Chu Cheng put his hand into his arms and took out a scroll.
The torrential rain wet his jacket, and the scrolls were inevitably stained with water.
"What a **** rainy day!"
After scolding in a low voice, Chu Cheng handed the scroll to Gu Zhong.
"Look."
Taking over the scroll, Gu Zhong and Ling Yan got together and slowly unfolded.
This is a black and white ink painting of a woman undressing. The lines are simple and clear, the skills are not all superb, and they are all full of charm. It can be seen that the person who painted this picture achieved this in a very short period of time. painting.
Cinnabar painting.
"This is?"
Gu Zhong squeezed the painting scroll tightly, she raised her head and stared at Chu Cheng.
"New post."
Chu Cheng's answer was deeply worried.
"There was a disciple in the mansion who happened to be there that day, and she thought it was new and strange. She also likes to paint, and when she came back, she painted a group painting of new clothes.
I saw it, so I asked her to choose a new one and make a new one - if nothing else, the new queen should be a demon, maybe she is the real possessed demon.
But now the king is bewitched by him, and the demon slayer is getting weaker day by day. I am afraid that he is not an opponent of such demons. I have to invite you to give it a try. "
Look at the red line drawn on the woman's waist and the red on the fingertips.
A cluster of sparks flashed through Gu Zhong's thoughts, and she suddenly became enlightened.
Why can Xuanhu escape? Why can you wake up the ancestors who were sealed in the underground of the royal capital? Why can I contact Gu Xuansheng? Why is the court controlled by the National Teacher's Office? Why is the queen possessed by demons?
If she hid in the palace in the body of another person from beginning to end, all that would be explained.
"You don't know how bad Gu Zhong's body is after that day. You still look for her?"
Ling Yan snatched the painting from Gu Zhong's hands in dissatisfaction, and gave Chu Cheng a stern look.
"I'll do it!"
"I will take care of this."
For the first time, Gu Zhong turned a deaf ear to Ling Yan's words.
"Gu Zhong! What did you promise me today?"
The phoenix eyes widened, Ling Yan tried her best to make a fierce expression and turned to Gu Zhong to look at her.
"Ayan, it's alright."
Gu Zhong sighed lightly and smiled at her slightly.
"No!"
Ling Yan's energy rose, and the volume increased several times.
"Uh - please two of you. It's raining heavily tonight and it's inconvenient to travel, so don't worry too much about this matter, there is still nearly a month before the ceremony, you - you can discuss it slowly.
I have been temporarily staying at the inn in the town for the past few days, and come to me at any time when there is a result.
Today's harassment, farewell! "
Perceiving the faint smell of gunpowder in the air, in order to avoid being affected by accident - after all, having such a lesson, Chu Cheng decided to leave.
He picked up the rain gear that had been thrown on the ground, ignoring the pouring rain outside the house, and fled.
"You can't go!"
The quarrel in the house continued.
Looking at Ling Yan's stubborn lips, Gu Zhong felt a great headache, so he could only choose to block it again with his lips.
"Hmm- stay away from me, don't think of this door!"
Putting Gu Zhong away from him, Ling Yan stood up and said aggressively, showing that he was determined this time.
"But Ah Yan, that monster, maybe the one I've been looking for for many years—"
Gu Zhong put on a pitiful look, staring at Ling Yan eagerly, trying to awaken the love in her soul.
Ling Yan was stunned for a moment, Gu Zhong once told her about the feud of genocide hundreds of years ago.
The Patriarch should not have found her tribe, but a person made a prophecy to it - that person is still alive, and most likely has become a demon.
It tried every means to kill Gu Zhong.
It is like a mouse in the sewer, hiding and disappearing.
Although the world's demons will eventually perish, but as long as it exists for a day, it is not absolutely safe to care about it, not to mention the great feud between life and death.
"Maybe not?"
Ling Yan softened her tone, but was still hesitant to veto.
"Perhaps? Even if there is a one in ten thousand chance, I have to see it with my own eyes."
Gu Zhong's tone was firm, and he was also unwilling to take a half step back.
"Alright, alright, you can go, but you have to contract three chapters!"
In the end, Ling Yan was defeated.
After all, this is what Gu Zhong cares about most, and she can't deprive her of her choices and wishes in the name of being good for Gu Zhong.
"Huh?"
"Number one, I'm going too! Number two, don't get out of my sight! Number three—don't do it! I'll be your thug. How's it going?"
Ling Yan pinched her fingers and counted them carefully.
There is nothing wrong with this treaty, but it just makes Gu Zhong obediently be a mascot.
Gu Zhong's eyes widened and he looked at her tangled.
"What's the matter? Will it work?"
The domineering question immediately chased out, Ling Yan bent down and stared at Gu Zhong in an oppressive manner.
"Okay, I'll listen to the lady."
Thousands of thoughts turned around, but Gu Zhong no longer hesitated, and replied warmly with a smile.
"Really?"
Ling Yan narrowed her eyes and looked at her suspiciously, as if she didn't quite believe that the person in front of her would be really obedient.
"Really! I lied to you as a puppy, woof!"
Gu Zhong immediately made an exaggerated gesture and learned to bark twice.
"Then pack up tomorrow and go to Chucheng again - the rain doesn't seem to stop tonight, I hope the river doesn't rise too high - I'm afraid I won't be able to go out by then- "
Ling Yan finally let go of this topic and began to complain about the rainstorm.
—
In the middle of the night, the river pouring from the sky gradually turned into a stream, and the sound of falling on the ground and the water became softer, until there was nothing.
Dark clouds spread out from the night sky, and no one could see where they went.
The brilliance of the moonlight caresses the water town lovingly, illuminating a shimmering wave of light, which is in harmony with the faint lights, making it warm and sweet.
Light the oil lamp, put down the handkerchief covering the corner of his lips, and a bright blood color is dazzling.
Since killing the ancestor, Gu Zhong knew that his time was short. Her longevity stems from the power of demons, and when the source is exhausted, her vitality is also cut off.
This time, in a sense, Xuanhu finally succeeded in killing her.
If the news from Chu City is true, and if so many coincidences are not coincidences, then now is the time to end it.
But because it was most likely Xuanhu, Ling Yan absolutely couldn't go with her—her spirit was too weak to be severely injured.
The mysterious fox who has been hiding in the palace for so long, the mysterious fox who has calculated countless people every step of the way, the mysterious fox who still possesses the power of a demon—what trump card can she pull out? What are the consequences? Gu Zhong didn't know either.
This time, if she loses, she will just enter the next cycle; if she wins, everything will come to an end, just—
—Ayan can no longer be hurt.
With this belief, Gu Zhong packed up his luggage alone and ran into the night quietly.
This time, she is still a missed bastard.
